The short answer: There is no single Fremont home price. In September 2026, the median detached home sold for $1,581,500 and the median condo or townhome sold for $675,000.[1][2] Zillow’s typical home value, a modeled figure, was $1,439,805.[3] Market conditions split the same way: detached homes sold at about 103% of list price with 1.4 months of supply, while condos and townhomes sold at about 99% with 3.3 months.[1][2]
If you search for Fremont’s home price, you will get several answers. None of them is necessarily wrong. They are measuring different things, and the difference matters when you are pricing a real house.
Why do Fremont home price numbers disagree?
| Source | Number | What it measures | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bay East[1] | $1,581,500 | Median sale price, detached homes (88 sales) | September 2026 |
| Bay East[2] | $675,000 | Median sale price, condos and townhomes (35 sales) | September 2026 |
| Zillow[3] | $1,391,667 | Median sale price, citywide | August 2026 |
| Zillow[3] | $1,439,805 | Typical modeled home value, down 1.5% in a year | September 2026 |
| Resideline[4] | $1,400,000 | Median sold price across 791 closings | Six months, as of October 2026 |
| TopHap[5] | $2 million | Median sale price, ZIP 94539 only, up 7.1% in a year | Recorded sales through June 2026 |
Four things explain most of the gap:
- Property type. A condo and a detached house are different products. A citywide median blends them, so it moves when the mix of sales changes.
- Geography. A citywide figure and a single ZIP code describe different sets of homes.
- The metric. A sale price is what someone paid. A value index is a model of what homes may be worth, including homes that did not sell.
- Timing. Some numbers cover a month, others cover six months, and recorded data can trail the market by weeks.
The table also shows why a one-line “Fremont is up” or “Fremont is down” tells you very little. Zillow’s citywide value index is down 1.5% over a year,[3] the median detached sale price fell 4.5% from September 2025,[1] and TopHap shows the median sale price in 94539 up 7.1%.[5] Those are different measures of different homes over different periods, so they cannot be compared directly.
Is Fremont a buyer’s or seller’s market?
It depends on the type of home. In the September reports, detached homes favored sellers, while condos and townhomes gave buyers more room.
| Measure | Detached homes | Condos and townhomes |
|---|---|---|
| Median sale price | $1,581,500 | $675,000 |
| Same month in 2025 | $1,656,000 | $830,000 |
| Sale price vs. list price | 103% | 99% |
| Average days on market | 18 | 47 |
| Months of supply | 1.4 | 3.3 |
| Homes sold | 88 | 35 |
Citywide figures can hide that split. Zillow’s August numbers look even, with 47.5% of sales over list and 47.7% under, and a median sale-to-list ratio of 0.998.[3] In that same month, Bay East reported detached homes at 102% of list and condos and townhomes at 99%.[1][2]
Be careful with the condo and townhome trend. The September median of $675,000 is 18.7% below the $830,000 of a year earlier, but only 35 of these homes sold that month.[2] With so few sales, the median can move a lot depending on which homes closed. It went from $1,075,000 in October 2025 to $675,000 eleven months later, which is not a reliable measure of what any one unit lost in value.
One more detail can mislead people. Zillow’s median list price, about $1.30 million in September, is below its median sale price of about $1.39 million in August.[3] That does not mean buyers are paying about $96,000 over asking. Those are different months and different sets of homes.
How much do Fremont neighborhoods differ?
A lot. Zillow’s September neighborhood values range from about $874,000 in Downtown to about $1.65 million in Glenmoor, with Irvington near $1.24 million.[3] These figures are shaped by the local housing mix, particularly where there are more condos and townhomes, so treat them as a starting point and not as a price for a comparable house.
What this means if you are selling, buying or renting out a home
If you are selling, price from recent comparable sales of your property type near you. A citywide median or automated estimate can be a long way from what your home will bring. My Fremont page explains how I approach pricing across the city.
If you are buying, do not assume the same rules apply to every home. Check the comps and the time on market for that specific property and property type.
If you own a rental, note the contrast. Zillow put average Fremont rent at $3,388 in September, up 6% in a year, while its home value index fell 1.5%.[3] Rent should still be set from nearby rentals like yours.
Fremont home price FAQ

Is a Zestimate accurate for my Fremont home?
An automated estimate is a reasonable starting point, but it cannot see your condition, upgrades or layout, or tell you how buyers will respond. A valuation built on recent comparable sales will be more specific.
